Go RHOA!! Last night’s finale was awesome and I am excited to see the reunions coming up.

I’m not afraid to admit, this show is so damn entertaining!

Michael

I have to say Nene has bee completely boring this season, IMO! Definitely the drama between: Kenya Moore, Phaedra Parks and Porsha Stewart that’s bringing the ratings this season.

Recollected

I think NeNe wasn’t as into this season due to her work on The New Normal. But I’m sure that will change in Season 6 since TNN is bound for cancellation, as we all know.

Matt

@Michael – I agree with you that the ratings this season have come from Kenya, Porsha, and Phaedra. It is funny then how, at the reunion, Porsha and Phaedra are sitting farthest from Andy. (Everybody knows (haha) that the people sitting farthest from Amndy at a reunion are most likely to get the boot, and those sitting closest to him are the favorites (Nene and Kenya).

Michael

NeNe acts like she’s an Oscar-winning actress. Not to discredit her success post-housewives, but lets be real here, TNN is a flop on NBC!

NeNe Leakes

I take full credit for the ratings. I am the show! Bloop!

Kenya will allways be the star of the show, she is smart and she know how to bring drama. Kenya needs to up her game, such as being in Panteen comercials. And other hair commercial because of her natural beauty and thick hair. Phadra we don’t care of the lies that you are saying of Kenya botty, parts of the body increase and decreases when ever you lose weight, we don’t want to look at you, you look like a pigeon pea worm.
